Dear Reader, 

What is existence? Who made time? Is there a governing force? These are questions that cannot be answered with any certainty. Humankind has spent thousands of years creating stories to answer these questions and there are as many answers as there are cultures. 

When something good happens, there is a tendency for some to thank a deity. But what about when something bad happens? Some will say that this event was the deity's doing too, and that it is all part of some grand plan. 

I prefer not to twist myself into a pretzel attempting to apply logic to what are leaps of faith. And so, I follow science as it attempts to get closer to truth. In this song, I apply—in a whimsical way—a religious trope (Say Amen) to what is my secular belief. I encourage all to follow their own beliefs, whether sacred or secular. I cast no aspersions no matter what your beliefs, so long as those beliefs do not impinge upon the beliefs and freedoms of others. 

My special thanks to Audric Jankauskas for joining me on this song. His immense talent as a guitarist may be known to those of you who have heard him play on several of my other songs, but you should also know of his great musicianship, arranging and compositional skills. Audric added those beautiful angular lines toward the end of the song, which I think are so cool. 

This has been a great summer for me. I've had the opportunity to collaborate with at least 12 other musicians—talented players and singers from all around the globe. The autumn approaches, but the music will continue—I still have much more music that I am eager to release. 

Thank you for your continued support.

All My Best,

ARMONIA, canto composto da P. Ettore Andrich O.M.I.
Orchestrazione e adattamento di Antonio Porrino

P. Ettore Andrich was my moral, spiritual and human guide in my youth and maturity. A true brother! 
A composer of sacred songs always inspired!

1.	I want to stay alone this evening,
I want to stay alone here in prayer,
before You, harmony of this immense mystery of the world,
before You, my God, how much pain for my love.
My God, today I have the courage to look at you too
And I feel that you are:
“Harmony of this immense mystery, you are harmony of this immense mister.”
2.	Now I want to return among the people and love you in every man's pain,
loving You, harmony of this immense mystery of the world,
loving You, my God, how much pain for my love.
My God, today I have the courage to look at you too
And I feel that you are:
“Harmony of this immense mystery, you are harmony of this immense mister.”
(Soprani: “My God, why have you abandoned me in this immense mystery.”)

P. Ettore Andrich è stato la mia guida morale, spirituale e umana nella mia giovinezza e nella mia maturità. Un vero fratello! 
Un compositore di canti sacri sempre ispirati!

1.	Voglio restare solo questa sera,
Voglio restare solo qui in preghiera,
davanti a Te, armonia di questo immenso mistero del mondo,
davanti a Te, Dio mio, quanto dolore per amore mio.
Dio mio, oggi ho il coraggio di guardarti anch’io
E sento che tu sei:
“Armonia di questo immenso mistero, sei armonia di questo immenso mister.”
2.	Ora voglio tornare tra la gente e amarti nel dolore di ogni uomo,
amare Te, armonia di questo immenso mistero del mondo,
amare Te, Dio mio, quanto dolore per amore mio.
Dio mio, oggi ho il coraggio di guardarti anch’io
E sento che tu sei:
“Armonia di questo immenso mistero, sei armonia di questo immenso mister.”
(Soprani: “Dio mio, perché mi hai abbandonato in questo immenso mister.”)

(Here He Comes) It´s Jimi Boy Again

Well, technically, this should be titled "Half-prelude in C Major, Interlude in G Major and Prelude (again) in C Major", but never mind that, I had fun making this little tribute to one of the old masters. See (or listen) if you can recognize the melodies in the middle :)

EDIT: It has come to my attention that the Minuet in G Major, included in the middle part, was (not so) recently found to be actually composed by Christian Petzold (1677-1733), not Bach. So, this is a tribute to him too, I guess.

†ॐ

Based on "Prelude and Fugue in C major, BWV 846"
Music composed by Johann Sebastian Bach
Arranged by Thomas O'Higgins Horna
Produced at Kolima Forest Studios.
